Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 180 diesel multiple-units trains, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:

  • there is not the required headroom above the priority seats; and

  • the passageway between some wheelchair spaces and the toilet for disabled persons is narrower than permitted.

It sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
